Chicken Enchilada Casserole Recipe

I usually have lots of chicken in my freezer and am always on the lookout for a new way of using chicken. This white sauce chicken enchilada casserole recipe is so delicious yet so easy to make!


Chicken Enchilada Casserole Recipe

This makes either one 9x13 pan or two 8x8 pans.


Ingredients:

• 4 medium or 3 large chicken breasts (boneless,skinless)

• 3-4 large or 5-6 small flour tortillas

• 2 cups low fat shredded cheese (I used 2% monterey jack/colby)


Sauce:

• 5 oz evaporated milk (fat free)

• 1 can cream chicken soup (healthy request)

• 1 small can diced green chiles

• 1 small (8 oz) tub light sour cream

• Any seasoning you want -- I used some garlic powder, salt and pepper.


Preparation:

• Preheat oven to 350. Boil chicken breasts until cooked through. As the chicken is cooking, stir together the sauce ingredients in a large bowl.

• Tear the tortillas into 1-2 inch pieces.

• When the chicken is done, shred it and stir it into the sauce until well combined.

• Spray the bottom of the pan with cooking spray and line with a layer of tortilla pieces.

• Layer half of the sauce onto the tortillas. Spread half of the cheese over the sauce.

• Repeat the layers. (I had enough for two layers.)

• Bake uncovered for 45 minutes or until cheese is melted and everything is hot and bubbly.


*Here I'd like to tell you about my favorite diet program that uses a lot of the healthy lower GI foods: Isabel de los Rios' 'The Diet Solution Program'.

The Diet Solution Program favours a long term health orientated approach to fat loss, but not offering anyone a quick fix to their weight troubles. It has loads of valuable data and research to support its approach. I personally investigated the program thoroughly and my mum has been using it for a while now. I have to say she got some great results.

The nutrition plan is one of the healthiest we have seen, a strong core focus on vegetables, fruits, vitamin dense foods, lean proteins, select dairy produce and a clear approach to not expecting one diet to work for all body types. So give it a try and let me know how you’re doing.*
